A cytochrome P450 gene, GmSUR2a, confers submergence tolerance and improves yield in soybean by modulating auxin homeostasis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The key cytochrome P450 gene GmSUR2a enables soybeans to withstand destructive submergence stress. By lowering the level of the plant hormone indole‐3‐acetic acid, this gene improves soybean survival and increases field yield. It offers an important tool for breeding stress‑resilient soybeans, securing food production against extreme weather conditions.

Decoding MAPK cascades in plant immunity: Activation, regulation, integration, and pathogen manipulation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review focuses on mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation and summarizes how plants regulate and integrate MAPK signaling in modulating plant immune responses. It also examines the effectors pathogens have evolved to manipulate MAPK activation and thereby inhibit plant immunity.

Nitric Oxide as a Partner of Reactive Oxygen Species Participates in Disease Resistance to Necrotrophic Pathogen Botrytis cinerea in Nicotiana benthamiana

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2009
Nitric oxide (NO) is an essential regulatory molecule in plant immunity in synergy with reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, little is known about the role of NO in disease resistance to necrotrophic pathogens.

Auxin response and PIN‐mediated transport in chlorophyte algae

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Like multicellular plants, green algae respond to auxin and move it across their cells. However, their PIN‐like proteins do not act like plant auxin exporters, suggesting that basic auxin transport evolved early and specialized directional transport appeared later in plant evolution.

Differences in Intensity and Specificity of Hypersensitive Response Induction in Nicotiana spp. by INF1, INF2A, and INF2B of Phytophthora infestans

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2005
Elicitins form a family of structurally related proteins that induce the hypersensitive response (HR) in plants, particularly Nicotiana spp. The elicitin family is composed of several classes.

Strigolactone‐mediated architecture regulation and stress resilience: Insights and innovations for crop breeding

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the discovery, biosynthesis, and transport of strigolactone, and the D14‐D3/MAX2‐D53/SMXLs signaling module. It highlights diverse roles of strigolactone in plant architecture, stress responses, and crop breeding, including species‐specific functions, hormonal crosstalk, and agricultural applications.

Expression and Partial Purification of His-tagged Proteins in a Plant System

Bio-Protocol, 2015
Plant protein expression can be a challenging enterprise in any biochemical or molecular biology research project. Several heterologous systems like bacteria, yeast, insect cells and cell free systems have been used to produce plant proteins for in vitro

Natural variation in the promoter of OsPDX1.2 enhances vitamin B6 accumulation and cold tolerance in rice

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Allelic variation in the promoter of the pyridoxal phosphate synthase OsPDX1.2 caused variation in the ACE‐box cis‐elements, resulting in differing OsPDX1.2 expression due to differences in binding affinity between the OsbZIP18 transcriptipn factor and the ACE‐box, contributing to variation in vitamin B6 levels and cold tolerance among rice varieties ...

Potential unlocked: an atlas of cloned wheat genes for genome engineering and breeding

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Strategies for introducing genome edits into a wheat breeding program and their effects on cultivar longevity. Summary Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) production is increasingly threatened by biotic and abiotic stresses. Developing varieties with improved stress tolerance and desirable end‐use qualities is crucial for meeting growing global demand ...
